Unleash the Magic of Kunstpalast: 49 Rooms Exploding with Artistic Delight
Get ready, art enthusiasts! Düsseldorf's Kunstpalast is set to reopen its doors after a spellbinding makeover and an investment of approximately 50 million euros. From November 21st, this treasure trove of artistic riches will be hosting an astonishing 800 works spanning across various epochs, from the Middle Ages to the present day. With around 50 stunning rooms bustling with masterpieces and curious artifacts, this reawakened gem is poised to leave visitors spellbound.
The Kunstpalast, with its prolific 300-year history, boasts an enchanting ensemble, including Rubens' masterpieces and the extensive legacy of German Expressionism from artists like Kirchner, Macke, Dix, and Marc. The display even features a captivating forgery, along with a mesmerizing replica of the legendary Mona Lisa.
Felix Krämer, the compelling director of Kunstpalast, encapsulates the new philosophy behind the exhibit. As Krämer expresses, "Thinking art differently" is the curator's ethos. The revised wall texts now display the names of works at the forefront, eschewing the focus on artists' names. This innovative approach aims to immerse visitors in the tales behind each captivating piece.
Krämer's progressive vision and dedication have earned him a well-deserved contract extension as General Director until 2034. Since joining the ranks of Kunstpalast in 2017, his impact has been palpable, as evidenced by the daring presentation of sports cars and riveting exhibitions on photo pioneer Peter Lindbergh and painter Caspar David Friedrich.
As visitors wander through the Kunstpalast's transformed confines, they will be bewitched by an astonishing smorgasbord of art, from the vastness of Rubens' impressive works to the groundbreaking avant-garde art movement of Zero from the 1960s. The museum's redesign pays homage to Düsseldorf's rich artistic and cultural heritage, ensuring that each room unveils fresh delight to the senses.
The Kunstpalast's transformation into a veritable treasure chest of artistic wonders promises an enchanting experience for even the most seasoned of art aficionados. So, secure your tickets now and prepare to be captivated by the magical world of art that awaits you at the Kunstpalast.
